Women, Theory, Praxis, and Performativities

This book bridges the gap between the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, collectively fostering new transoceanic modes of thinking.

It reframes postcolonial debates and reveals the interconnected dialogues led by women from former French colonies.

The volume unsettles the male agenda and pays attention to the ways in which artists, writers, and activists have theorized or poetized women and the seas.

Contributors explore activisms and feminisms, intersectional praxes of care, ecological and health impacts of nuclear radiation, queerness and decolonizing dance.

The volume's overarching approach belongs to a "politics of refusal" which brings forth formerly discarded archives and discredited sites of knowledge.
